Anonymous002 This is probably Pixar's weakest short films. Every Pixar short has one of these three qualities - It can be cute or it teach us something or atleast funny. But this film did not has any of the three. And that's why I didn't like it.

ManOfKino A sleeping man is visited by aliens in a flying saucer. As the familiar scenes of alien abduction start playing out, it turns out that the abductors are experiencing certain technical difficulties. What is it that these nefarious aliens really want?Lifted is a very funny animated short that takes a familiar and clichéd story -alien abduction- and has fun with it. The comedy is mainly physical, taking the form of slapstick as the unfortunate sleeper is accidentally tossed around with the flying saucer's beam. Inside the saucer, we see the unprepared pilot wrestle with the saucer's impossibly complicated controls as well as with the unflinching gaze of his superior. The animation style of Lifted is not particularly distinctive, but works well. There is no spoken dialogue in the film, and as such everything is conveyed through action only.I thought that the concept of this short was pretty interesting, and that it had the potential to be transformed into a longer film. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be in the works.

biareisschmidt Animation is my weakness. To me, it is easier to get envolved with the story when real people do not take part in it (acting). The story is simple; a young alien comes to Earth to take his "abduction exam", as if it was a "driver license exam", and things don't go very well during the exam. As many other PIXAR SHORT FILMS, the purpose of Lifted is to make the audience laugh. Well, I laughed.. And the nicest thing is that even though you can figure what is going to happen next during the whole time, you end up laughing. I may be terribly wrong, but my impression is that one of the reasons for such thing is the usage of sounds; every sound just fits perfectly with each scene.

yuuun This story is about a little alien which takes an operating test. There are only three characters, the alien, other alien which judges the exam and a human who sleeps deeply. The thing the little alien must do is to choose the right switch from a lot of switches and brings the man to the UFO. However, the little alien can't chooses correct switch because he didn't study hard. The more the little alien fail, he feels more pressure from the examiner, and the end he pushes many switches randomly. Finally, he succeeds in bringing the man to the UFO, but unexpected deployment is waiting. When I was a high school student, I first watched this film. At then, I was very excited by the movie, because it was a movie which I can't expect the story. Especially, I was amazed at the last scene. I have never seen such an interesting movie. Although this film is short and no sound, content is very easy to understand and funny, so I suppose that every generation of people can enjoy the film.
